i have tha CD so i heard tha lyrics and lupe has done it again its cool he didnt use full potential on that track but it was about shades so he did good for the foremost tho much love lu and get tha album its hotFNF UP-AMPOLOGIST

The line: "the black and the white one, i begin then i master"
Is not only a karate reference, he is also saying that once he starts something he masters it. He doesn't take the baby steps toward mastering something.

im listenin to the song right now( listening not hearing), and i think its great. the theme is nice and original the sound is COOL!!!!(in my lupe voice) and as always the lyrics are of the highest quality

Wow... CT, I'm copping the song now. I overlooked lines that I thought where simple.
The line "i'm a slave to myself i just obey my boss" I think could refer to his relationship with his record label. I think he is saying that he is slave to no one but himself and it also could allude to how he is promoting his album via Steppin Lasers Tour without the help of Atlantic.
I really did get amazed when I caught that chain he tossed lol

the black and the white one, i begin then i master"
(Karate reference)
"they say what im seeing through is false like Ross"
(rick ross was accused of wearing fake Louis Vatton shades many times)
"I can hear them thru the walls like walk, this way"... See More
(The run Dmc song walk this way, and in the video they has two sides of music on diff sides of the wall)
"im a slave to myself i just obey my boss"
(simple line but catch all the slave references throughout the song. MASTER, SLAVE, CHAIN, HANG)
"Its all in disarray this parade i walk, they get amazed when they catch a chain i toss, amidst this array of different ways i talk, and it hangs from your brain if my chain you caught"
(The parade in my eyes is the rap game he saying its in disarray its out of order because the lames like waka flocka get more radio play than a guy like Lupe. The rappers are the center of attention and fans all watch as they go by. The chains are Lupes lines. When you catch one of lupes lines its pretty amazing (like this im explaining now lol) but also in parades (mardi gras) when you catch an actual chain ppl get excited. and hangs from your brain is simply you remember it.)
"like i cough without covering my mouth"
(catch lupes lines like you catch something when somebody doesnt cover their mouth)
"I tip the scales like the king of the south"
(tip meaning T.I.P. aka T.I. aka the king of the south. but T.I. is a skinny guy and if he were on a balancing scale? his side woulld be higher than alot of ppls because there is not alot of weight. so i assume this is Lupe saying he is above other rappers who would be lower on the other side of the scale.)
"forgot that i was fat i lost my way (weight)"
(another reference to being light and higher on a scale saying he lost weight.)
"back looking for the shade i sought, not Wonders (Stevie), Scott summers, so dont make me take off my stunners"
shades it shoots a red beam everywhere and murders everything. So its best not to take off his shades)

I would have put the song on my MP4 if the chorus was better. Lupe and B.o.B did alright on their verses and nothing more. I did like how Lupe delivered his lines, but as far the lyrics it's nothing near his best. Overall the song was nothing spectacular.
